Comment 2 opeokesola 2016-05-04 09:04:35 UTC 
I encountered similar error, the solution is very simple You need to edit the pom.xml file as follows. Replace line 38:
<glassfish.home>${glassfish.home.prefix}/glassfish4</glassfish.home>
to your GlassFish home, I run GlassFish 4.1.1 installed in C:\ drive. So my modification is:
<glassfish.home>${glassfish.home.prefix}glassfish-4.1.1</glassfish.home>.

Please note the slash before glassfish was removed too. The slash after c: in line 51 suffice. 
Build it again. Should be fine.
